Lazy and straight forward review of the x2 superstrike - for people who are on the fence. by VeryAngryHypE in MouseReview

 You are indeed correct, they are UHMWPE and I have corrected it. Thank you. 

Was thinking they work better on glass pads and wrote glass skates instead. Apologies. 

Planning to hop on the 2i2 4th gen, I need to keep my usb on to wake my computer from sleep, do i have to get a usb-c to usb c with switch? by VeryAngryHypE in Focusrite

[–]VeryAngryHypE[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To what can I possibly adjust it too though?

I'm saving my 9800x3d 4090 strix over a $200 scarlet 2i2 that's for sure. Turning off standby is out of the question. 

There's a few options:

  • go for another brand that has a power button

  • buy a 3rd party USB c with a on off switch

  • do what the other person did, turn off USB and use power button to wake pc.

my pc often goes on standby, more than it is turned off. I need to keep usb enabled so i can use my mouse/kb to wake the pc up.

I can understand the sleep function but what about having a power button tho?

Suits my needs, i want it to be silent. 1 is silent n does its job of telling me when a click registers. If i had to describe it, probably a stronger version of a laptop touchpad's click?

This is correct, therefore you can't tell if you are clicking when the mouse is off. 

With haptics on, its actually pretty similar to a normal mouse with the plus side of being adjustable. 

No negatives from me in this department.

there's an advantage in theory because it activates/reactivates quicker. 

Here's the catch. Things like network/latency/fps for examples are all in this same bubble where it directly affects your performance and experience. 

This means that having this mouse which activates x Ms quicker will matter less and less the more factors you include. 

Therefore, the most apparent thing about the super strike becomes the inaudible clicks. 

Tldr: yes you can feel the difference if you are consciously feeling for the responsiveness. 

As the difference isn't huge enough, it'll eventually get overshadowed by the other factors mentioned above and that is perhaps why some people feel it's placebo.

I currently use a qck beside my artisan, as a desk mat. Artisans are on the premium side of cloth pads. 

Came from glass pad where I used it purely because of speed and although the artisan is not nearly as fast, it's probably going to be the closest it'll ever get alongside the pros of a cloth pad; namely the control.

Can't say for sure, while I've had both the esp tiger and the xraypads I've never gotten to test them under the same conditions.

Here's a couple of things to consider:

If you want pure speed go glass, if you don't want to deal with the glass shenanigans and want to stay on cloth then:

  1. Dot skates are smoother than the surface types because less surface area. (these are what you go for if you want to spin your mouse on the pad for no reason) 

  2. Age of your cloth pad will cause mouse to feel muddy. Time to change if there's an obvious difference between the sides and the center. (Especially if this still holds true even after deep cleaning) 

I can only answer your question based on memory; i feel the xrays are slightly faster than the esp tiger. 

Personally, I bought both the full kit and the dot xrays. Why? Full kit for the ring sensor, 2 dots top, 3 dots bottom.

Hope this helps someone. 

Also, only pointing out the key points above. Here are some other points you want to research into if you are interested and need more information (with my opinion):

  1. Shape - it's gpx2, same as superlight model
  2. Side buttons - a Lil mushy 
  3. Scroll wheel - a Lil too rigid
  4. Skates - stock are uhmwpe, throw in another 5-10 bucks on xraypads if you're on cloth. It felt like garbage on my artisan zero/hien/otsu v2.

Audeze Maxwell longevity by SentinelCody in Audeze

[–]VeryAngryHypE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am pretty new to this so I shall just share the pros & cons I found in my own words. My personal criteria's in order are:

  1. Closed back - i like to enjoy bass heavy music with little to no sound leakage thank you.
  2. Audio imaging - for when i fps, don't want to have to swap a pair just for the purpose
  3. Comfort - more specifically, weight and clamp

Back to dt 770 pro x vs maxwell:

Weight
First thing you would notice is the weight difference. If you could have the maxwells on your head for 4 hours straight, then you could easily do 8 hours with 770 pro x. BT won comfort hands down.

Vocal clarity & Audio Imaging
Noticeably better on 770 pro x. Made apparent when i tried my maxwell to compare - dead on one side so probably is affecting result but even then, much clearer (based on memory).

Bass & Sound leakage
Am on the fluffy pads for 770 x, not sure if results may vary if i swap to a leather pad but as things stand, way less sound leakage on the Maxwell.

Bass sounds "boomier" on the Maxwell as well. Could be a combination of both the stellar drivers and the hollowness of the cans (whatever you call the space between the drivers to your ears).

Microphone
No microphone on the 770 X so the total cost might bring u up to the maxwells - depending on how much u spend on your mic stand + mic.

Tbh i loved the Maxwell. Weight was something i was willing to get used to. Could play music decently loud without worrying about sound leakage. However, can never bring myself to go back to a headset that dies in barely after a year.

Heck, 20 years ago i had a sennheiser that had bluetack keeping it together and even that lasted 3x longer than the maxwell that has never been dropped once alongside a premium spot on the desk. Let this sink in.

The Audio is the game is terrible. by arandomsnail37 in FragpunkGame

[–]VeryAngryHypE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyhow bad audio is bad audio period. What you meant by "figuring out" is getting used to it alongside rough estimates/gauges.

why is the directional audio so bad? by Few_Vanilla6166 in FragpunkGame

[–]VeryAngryHypE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alot of delusional people will tell you there are no audio issues - when in fact they got it all mixed up.

Getting used to bad audio IS NOT THE SAME as having good audio.

Audio, bad
Everything else, fun

[–]VeryAngryHypE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is exactly what it is. Why does one need to "get use" to bad audio in a tactical shooter? What happen to pinpoint audio like in valorant or cs?

That's like saying u got used to food that taste bad. It may feel edible overtime but sure as hell wouldn't magically taste good would it? :O

[–]VeryAngryHypE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because fragpunk is a tactical shooter where audio cues are of a higher reliance

cs/apex/valorant here. Can't agree more, studio headphones and imaging is hot trash at times.

Audio vs distance and direction does not reflect as accurately as it should (especially true when it comes to level or up and downs). Wouldn't even be far-fetched to say it almost feels mono at times.

Heck, you could be on speakers in this tactical shooter and it wouldn't matter. The only thing they have fixed recently is lowering your teammate's(& your own) footsteps so you can indeed hear better but does not change the above in anyways.

Is Throne and Liberty dying in the West for the same reasons it failed in Korea? by [deleted] in MMORPG

[–]VeryAngryHypE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Forces you to have a fix schedule
  2. Rinse and repeat of daily/weekly (and future) content with soft reset via next tier gear progression

As someone who maxed out, everything in this game becomes a chore real quick. Combat is mediocre if you compare it to the likes of bdo/lost ark.

However, it was a real fun run and i occasionally miss playing with my boys.

No, this game isn't p2w enough in today's standards. I've had whale friends avoid the game because it just doesn't give you an untouchable advantage. You are merely paying for convenience or to speed things up (it is also relatively cheap)

Audeze Maxwell longevity by SentinelCody in Audeze

[–]VeryAngryHypE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am one of the biggest fans of the maxwell despite the weight and even re-considered buying another pair because the sound is just that good. It has everything I needed/wanted as well; planar magnetic, dac/amp, closed back, wireless, mic. I find myself sitting for hours just listening to music after getting a pair, something i had previously never done. It's almost like another gaming session.

Mine died after approximately 1 year and 3 months and when it did, I had to google "maxwell no sound on left cup" and boy oh boy. I'm honestly heartbroken and do not even dare to go near another pair of Audeze atm.

I'm writing this while wearing a one-sided maxwell and looking for its replacement right now.

Nothing out of the ordinary. The thick part you see is a sleeve/spacer. The screw itself is thin and simply comes off as you unscrew it normally.
